A simple soft serve made from Hokkaido's high-fat dairy milk, the lightest dessert in any Sapporo summer. Sold at the Hokudai dairy stand, Rokkatei and almost every cafe.
Hokkaido developed its dairy industry in the Meiji era, with William S. Clark and Edwin Dun introducing American-style ranching to the new Sapporo settlement in 1876. By the post-war years, Hokkaido produced more than half of Japan's milk and a soft-serve culture emerged through campus dairies (Hokkaido University Marche), confectionery houses (Rokkatei) and roadside stops. The flavour now defines Hokkaido summer; the Hokudai Marche's Clark's Milk soft serve is the canonical version.
